The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen.
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu.
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
IN the United States is de-.
creasing every year. Sudden
death from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as to scarcely excite
remark. The majority Of sui
cides, committed without APP
parentreason, or under social.
ed "depression of spirits are
really prompted by nervous
prostratlon, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crim9
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling;
they threaten the very life Of
the nation; they assail the
springs of its power and pros.
perity; they wreck mqnhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Everyone should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain Cur vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical
strain arising from our mad
race after money, position and
influence; the fears and strug-
gles of poverty; the use Of mar
cotics and stinulants; fash
ion of turning day into night
and night into day; and, brief
ly, our desperate willingness to
pay any price ton an hours
pleasure on success. SO we
burn lite's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, nervous dyspepsia, as it
is seated IN the nerves and in
the organs of digestion assinl-
ilation and nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or de-
stroyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heavlness or achingat the
base Of the brain; wake tulress:
loss of appetite and disgust
with food; loss of mental ener-
gy and interest i'll ordinary
duties and business; restless
ness and anxiety without any
asslgrable reason; eructations
bad breath; toulmucous ON the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal.
lowness Of the skin coated
tongue and gradual failure OF
strength and ambition.
The remedy is Il total aban-
donmont of the habits and Gus

in eachiu&yidual case, and the

Never since the days to which the
foregoing extract refers did avery
few men hold in their hands such
extensive powers over their fell
lows, or use them more remorse-
lessly. The claims Of manhood
are disregarded; only those Of the
moneyed interest are recognized
by the lawgivers. who are as much
owned blythe monopolizing classas
though they had been purchased
in open market. The whole ad-
vantage Of the great inventions
designed toimprove the condition
of mankind has gone to the ex-
plotting classes. If experience
can be depended upon as guide
If there is any meaning in the
warnings of history these wrongs
must bring retribution in their
train. Unless thorough recon
struction of the industrial system
arrests the tendency to demorali-
zation by ensuring healthier con-
ditions for the devevelopment of
a higher standard of manhood and
womanhood. the same enfeeble-
ment and degradation Of the race,
which proved the ruin of the an
cient civilizations based upon
slavery and caste supremacy will
assuredly sap the. system reared
by capitalism upon a foundation
of industrial serfdom.
The revolutionary spirit is
abroad. Wherever the pressure
is greatest and the depressing ef-
fects of the social struggle most
keenly felt, there are spasmodic
outbreaks or menacing demonstra-
tions-the instructive turning of
the crushed worm rather than the
deliberate purpose of those having
inviewa definite end. In a large pro-
portion of the now chronic labor
troubles in the large centres a dis
position towards physical violence
has been displayed. When the
desperation of wage-workers who
see their condition growing more
intolerable takes the form of as
saults on those who, like them
selves, are the victims of capital
ism, and have no choice between
accepting the terms offered them
and slow starvation-when union

Mr. George AntasoniEed the Socialists,

New YORK, Nov. S.-The George
party seems to have gone to
pieces. Last year in this city al
one they gave George $1,000 votes.
This year they will hardly poll
that many votes in the entire
state. while their vote in the city
has fallen to about $4,000. This
of course has been of great benefit
to the democrats.
The labor vote for the entire
state is estimated at 10000. of
which 10000 was polled outside Of
New York and Kings county.

to show that one of the errors uin-
derlying the whole of Mr.. Georges
teaching is that in his crusade
against robbery he persistently
shuts his eyes to the fact that an
other and far more powerful rob
Der than the landlord now holds
the fort. He is of course (Who
admits this self-evident truth
more frankly than the Socialist1) J
correct in saying that without the
aid of the landlord the capitalist
can do nothing, but he is distinct
ly wrong in his assertion that the
landlord can snap his finger at
the capitalists and monopolize the
booty. AS l have tried to explain
this is only possible with very
primitive people, content with
what nature spontaneously pro-
duces. With US of to-day it is no
longer possible, and has not been
for many long generation past.
I'VE have ten thousand daily wants
which nature unaided cannot sup
ply. When we speak ola man as
as "land poor" we recognize the
fact that acres are of little value
when their owner has neither cap
ital nor machinery.
What means the present boom
in real estate over which the
Standard is so righteously indig-
nant1 What does it really mean
but that the landlords in such and
such places have become sudden
ly alive to the desirability of in
viting capitalists to go into part
nership with them; that they
have recognized that without the
aid of the machinery which the
capitalist alone can place at their
disposal they are powerless to ad-
vance. Assuming-and the as
sumption is in my humble judg-
ment wholly unwarrantable-that
the adoption of the patent land
tax would oust the landlord from
power and put the worker in his
place, this merely puts him in the
position the landlord now occu-
pies; in the identical position of
the land-poor farmer who to-day
makes the rounds of the imple-
ment houses and stores in search
Of credit. Can Mr.. George con-
vince US that the capitalist will
not still hold the whip hand over
us1 That is the question.
But" say those of my friends
who are good enough to notice
these papers, what you urge is
unquestionablytrue, notwithstand-
ing which we are still in favor of
supporting Henry George. 1t is
true the landlord can do but little
unless he can induce the capital
ist to go into partnership with
him. 1t is true that it is the aH-
asee of the monopolist of natural
resources, and of the monopolist
| of inventions that human ingenui-
| ty has bequeathed to us. that is
driving US to annihilation, and yet
we stand with Henry George. Can
you not see that breaking the al
lance we are enormously the
gamers; that though often at a
disadvantage the landlords are
vet as a whole able to dictate fair
terms to the capitalists, whereas
he who has neither land. money
nor goods cannot dictate any
terms at all1 There is an appear

Thompson's "Polities Of Labor"
In Draper's intellectual Devel-
|opment Of Europe" the causes
which wrought the decay Of the
powerful and splendid Roman
empire are thus summarized:
Labor was despised; hence the
downfall of the Roman empire.
The treatment Of the laborers was
atrocious. On the murder of one
Pendanius, four hundred slaves
were. put to death, when it was
obvious to everyone that scarcely
any of them had known of the
crime. To such degree had this
system been developed that slave
labor was cheaper than animal
labor, and work formerly done by
cattle was done by men. The
class which should have consti-
tuted the chief strength of the
country disappeared, laborbecame
so ignoble that the poor citizen
would not become an artisan, but
became a pauper. The concen-
tration of power and the increase
of immortality proceeded with
equal step. Crimeswere commit
| ted such as the world had never
before witnessed. An evil day is
approaching when it becomes rec
ognized in a community that the
only standard of social distinction
is wealth. That day in Rome was
soon followed by corruption and
terrorism. No language can de-
scribe its state after the civil wars.
The accumulation of power and
wealth gave rise to untold deprav-
| ity among the aristocracy. A cit
izen had to deposit bribe before
a trial at law could be had. The
social body was fostering mass
| of rotteness. The aristocracy was
demoniac. The city was hell to
the laborer. No yillany that the
annals of human wickedness can
show was left unperpetrated.
Remorseless murders, the betray-
al of parents, husbands. wives,
friends, were reduced to a system
which degenerated into crimes
which cannot be written"
And so fell the power that for
centuries made the world tremble,
and exercised a wider supremacy
than any nation of ancient times.
The systematic oppression of the
laborer sapped its manhood, de-
stroyed its strength. rotted the
magnificent structure at it founda-
tion, and left it an easy prey to
the barbarian hordes. The de-
scription of the causes of Rome's
overthrow presents such a start
ling parallel to the causes now at
work in every modern land that
it reads like a slightly overdrawn
presentation of the evils of Amer
ican or European society to-day.
